Within the project, two intellectual outputs were successfully created, finalized, and translated into the three national languages of the partner countries.
1. The first intellectual output was the Handbook – a small-scale pedagogical material for internal use. This handbook was developed collaboratively by ICT experts and pedagogical specialists to provide comprehensive guidance for integrating advanced technologies, such as holograms and virtual reality (VR), into regular school classes.
ICT experts provided detailed descriptions of the hardware, including technical specifications, practical applications, and necessary maintenance procedures. The handbook also presented an overview of the available software, both that which accompanied the hologram hardware and the free, online VR-based educational tools, with step-by-step installation instructions and examples of use in STEM subjects.
Pedagogical experts from RDE and AIEPA described the most effective educational methodologies for introducing ICT tools into teaching practice. The chosen approach was based on “learning by doing”, emphasizing problem-based learning, teamwork, research, and presentation of results. ICT experts from NGO LAG contributed by selecting and describing the best software solutions aligned with these pedagogical principles.

2. The second intellectual output was the Document for Establishing a Strategic Transnational Partnership. This document addressed the identified weaknesses in the educational processes within the targeted regions and proposed strategies for their improvement. Experts from RDE developed a set of recommendations for enhancing local educational policies and strategies, in line with the EU Digital Education Action Plan.
A particular focus was given to raising awareness among parents of primary school children with academic underachievement in STEM subjects, highlighting the importance of developing STEM-related skills for future careers in a technology-oriented labor market. Additionally, the document included a psychological-pedagogical approach aimed at encouraging female students to increase their interest and confidence in STEM subjects.
Based on these findings, a workshop for teachers of students aged around 12 years was organized, introducing them to the developed methods and strategies. The final Action Plan included at least ten fully described priority actions for primary schools, aimed at strengthening digital competencies, supporting gender balance in STEM, and fostering long-term improvement of educational practices across partner regions.
